Anthony Wardlow led the fired-up Mustangs, scoring three second-quarter touchdowns against the Eagles, who were ranked ninth in the state 4-A poll going into the game. The Mustang defense also played a superb game, dominating the line *of scrimmage throughout- the .night. Parkland^ which traditionally sports a conservative, running offense under Coach Homer Thompson, surprised East by unleashing a medium-range passing attack which led to several long gains ^and two of the Mustangs' three touchdowns. "Everybody's always saying that we can't pass the football," said Thompson after witnessing the Mustang aerial attack. "But we've been working hard on throwing the ball and it worked well for us tonight. "Everybody's always saying ball. But we've been~workTt and it worked well for us to ? Parkla "Coach (Tom) Muse has to get most of the credit for the way we threw the ball," Thompson said. "He's been working on the passing game for the past two weeks r\r\r\ frtri n /> t r\ mo f V* o tt/D anu u JU15 iu vuiivinvw 11 iv? mat. rrv should throw the ball more." ?The Mustangs, coming off a xwQ-week layoff, looked equally as effective on defense, thanks to strong pressure from linebacker Bobby Scrivens and defensive end Jacques Holiday. "1 thought our guys tackled well on defense," said Thompson. "Holidayxand (Clay) Bryan were in the East backfield all game." Yet, it was the play of Wardlow, a senior halfback who normally does the blocking for tailbacks Donald Jackson and Kennard Martin, that stood out most in^the Mustangs' win. Wardlow got the Mustangs on the scoreboard with nearly 11 minutes left in the second quarter on a four-yard touchdown run off tackle. The play was set up by a 53-yard pass from Jeff Pace to sneiton Jones. After an inteiception by Bobby Roseboro that carried to the East 14-yard line, Wardlow's burst off tackle put Parkland on top 13-0. However, Wardlow saved his best effort for the final Parkland touchdown.

"I can't say enough about the way Wardlow played," said Thompson. "He's usually the blocker for our other guys." Wardlow, a 5-U, 165-pound senior, said although he was surprised to get the football when he did? he was confident the Mustangs' line would open the holes on his touchdown runs. "1 was shocked to get the ball when we were so close to the goa line," said Wardlow. "I onl} average aboutfpur carrie&i game, so I didn't think'I woulc be getting it. But the plays wen t h prp Tho r\ff#?n cii;o Iimp HiH e uivi v. a iiv w i i viiji v iiiiv uiu good job and all I had to do was run.'' Another key to the Mustang outburst, according to both Wardlow and Thompson, is the rivalry between East and Parkland. "We were ready for them (Easi Forsyth)," said Wardlow. "It's i good rivalry and we wen pumped." that we can't pass the foot ig harcToh thro wing the bat night." md Coach Homer Thompsor "It was a very emotional gam for the players," said Thompson "(East Coach) Perry (Pearson and I are very competitive wit each other and we have been for long time. It's quite natural fc the kids to be fired up when v, play East Forsyth." After the Mustangs Tan out t a 19-0 lead at the end of the fir: half, Thompson went to rushing attack in the second ha to take advantage of his fir stable of offensive backs.

"We found some holes in their secondary in the first half, and in the second half we got some holes to run in." Jackson and Martin helped keep the Mustangs' momentum going in the second half with the pair reeling off huge chunks of yardage. Despite the fact that the Mustangs didn't score any points in the final half, they moved the ball well and everyone on the 5 team got to play.
